Are the certificates you want in Lancashire?

I have always found the staff at Preston Registrars to be very helpful and I usually send a covering letter stating some details of the person I am looking for and on a couple of occasions they have returned my application saying the details on the certificate don't match.

I have found the Lancashire BMD site a bonus with both births and deaths as they give the mothers maiden name back to 1837 and also ages at death and sub registration district.

I was lucky enough to have been the co-ordinator for the Hyndburn Records when the work was being done at Willow Street but have not been able to be involved since the work moved to Preston but am very grateful to all the volunteers who are still carrying out this wonderful resource.
